Artwork auctioned at four times the upper estimate price
When the work View Over A Lake At Sunset by Akseli Gallen-Kallela was auctioned at Sothebys in London in July 2019, the result exceeded expectations many times over. The upper estimate was set at a - in retrospect quite modest - GBP 150,000.00 but the actual price achieved was more than four times as high at GBP 711,000.00 (€ 780,630.73). Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Akseli Gallen-Kallela; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot Autumn - Five Crosses: A preliminary work for the fresco in the Jusélius Mausoleum sold at auction in October this year with the realized price of GBP 1,008,000.00 (€ 1,157,464.04).
Kunstwerk zum Vierfachen des oberen Schätzpreises versteigert
Als die Arbeit View Over A Lake At Sunset von Akseli Gallen-Kallela im Juli 2019 bei Sothebys in London versteigert wurde, übertraf das Ergebnis die Erwartungen um ein Vielfaches. Der obere Schätzpreis war mit – rückwirkend betrachtet recht bescheidenen – GBP 150.000,00 angesetzt, der tatsächlich erzielte Preis hingegen war mit GBP 711.000,00 (€ 780.630,73) mehr als viermal so hoch. Trotz des guten Ergebnisses ist dies nicht der höchste Zuschlag für ein Kunstwerk von Akseli Gallen-Kallela; den erzielte unter den von uns beobachteten Auktionen die Arbeit Autumn - Five Crosses: A preliminary work for the fresco in the Jusélius Mausoleum im Oktober diesen Jahres mit dem Hammerpreis von GBP 1.008.000,00 (€ 1.157.464,04).
